Populations have also increased, Sam.
But at the same time I think it's fair to say that production has out-paced demand.
We are selling wheat for about the same price as my grandpa and father got 40 years ago.
Beef production is also much more 'efficient' than it was 20 years ago.
You might have similar acreage in crop or similar numbers of cattle but the yield has greatly increased.
Producing ourselves right out of a job....grin
